Prosecutors said surveillance video shows a man, who they believe is Joshua Archie, forcing his way inside the store in Ridgeland and shooting Party City manager Bobby Adams in October.

Investigators believe one of the employees shown on the video, Undra Ward, was also involved in the robbery. Archie and Ward are both charged with capital murder.

"Prior to the robbery, Mr. Ward, who was at the store, was supposed to send a text message to the gunman to let him know the store was beginning to clear out and the money was on-hand," said Michael Guest, the district attorney for Madison and Rankin counties.

Detectives said DNA evidence links Archie to a vehicle believed to have been used in the slaying.
